Vitaa reacts to the Slimane affair in “C à Vous”.
The rest after the ad
TMC is broadcasting an event documentary dedicated to Vitaa this Friday, November 22, 2024 in prime time. Titled Vitaa, my name is Charlotte, the film looks back on the notable moments of her career, she who was ranked among the 20 favorite female artists of the French. The title refers to his latest album Charlotte released in October 2023. On the set of C to you this Wednesday, she spoke about her busy news, but not only that. She was led to talk about her friend Slimane, with whom she was seen on November 1 at the NRJ Music Awards, where he was crowned French-speaking male artist of the year.
“It’s funny, all my life I have been made a bit of a spokesperson for all my artist friends. Every time I came on set, there was a question for Diam's. Although that wasn't the subject. Today it’s Slimane. At one point it was Stromae. I say it with a smile but often people ask me the question. And to be very honest, I absolutely did not come to talk about this for him. On the other hand, if you wonder about my relationship with Slimane, I invite you to watch the documentary because it is very present. And I talk about this in depth. There you have it, everything is said. I can't tell you more…“
Slimane targeted by two complaints
A reaction that could not be clearer from Vitaa, who as a reminder has a very strong, friendly relationship with him. They have collaborated many times together (Gold, It will be fine, Before you…), and he became one of his best friends. The singer's statement in C to you is linked to the affair in which Slimane finds himself, initially targeted by a complaint for sexual harassmentfiled by one of the technicians who officiated on his last tour to date.
And today he would be the subject of a second complaint. Another technician who officiated on the singer's last tour claims to have been the victim of sexual assault by the musician. The facts he describes occurred on the night of December 17 to 18, 2023, exactly at the same time as those denounced by the first technician. As a reminder, a preliminary investigation was opened by the public prosecutor of Saint-Etienne against the singer. And he also apologized to his fans.
Slimane remains innocent of the charges against him until the closure of this case.
